The Heir of Tamagotchi
Do you remember the little virtual pet Tamagotchi? When people used to wake up in the middle of the night and feed the little baby. This is all in the past. Now we have new generations of these kinds of pets. They don't need to be fed or taken care of, they just need your friendship and a little attention.
The Nabaztag Wi-Fi Smart Rabbit is one of these pets. This is the new generation of toys that help. The bunny is a multifunctional pet, which connects to a computer via Wi-Fi and can do a lot of things, on which you always have spent a lot of time yourself.
This gadget will read your RSS feeds (just show it from where), will forecast the weather or play an MP3 song. Like an old cuckoo clock it will announce the time on top of every hour. If you need some tai chi lessons, it will provide you with the necessary knowledge. If you'd like to know how was this week of living together with the Wi-Fi bunny, it will tell you whether the week was good, worth thinking of, or is one of those, which should be really fast forgotten. Such week recaps are made at the end of each week.
If you are sitting in front of your PC waiting for an e-mail, your virtual pet can easily do this for you: it will announce when an e-mail comes or a friend joins the GoogleTalk.
When there's no one to wake you up in the morning the funky bunny will do it gladly, you just choose your favorite MP3 track and tell the time and this track will be the first thing you hear in the morning. The Nabaztag can also send you to bed, saying some sleepy good night wishes and go to bed itself.
Sometimes the bunny will want to have time for itself – all you will notice will be the changing belly color and the moving ear (because all bunnies move their ears).
In case you are alone and there's no one to talk to in the evening, you might get you one of these gadgets, but better find yourself a girlfriend and don't spend so much time with a roborabbit.
